Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal product of labor is the additional output produced by one additional unit of labor.

To find the marginal product of labor as production moves from employing one worker to employing two workers, we need to calculate the difference in output between those two levels of employment.

Marginal product of labor = (Output with two workers) - (Output with one worker)
= 40 - 23
= 17

Therefore, the marginal product of labor is 17. The best choice is C.
